VAT Health Check
VAT Health Check in UAE
Navigating the VAT landscape in the UAE can be challenging without expert guidance. At Noraal, we provide in-depth VAT health check services in the UAE to help businesses ensure full compliance with Federal Tax Authority (FTA) requirements. With constantly evolving tax regulations, a proactive VAT health check is essential for identifying risks, avoiding penalties, and optimizing your VAT recovery.
What Is a VAT Health Check?
A VAT health check is a structured review of your VAT records, filings, and processes to ensure they comply with UAE tax laws. It acts as a preventive audit that identifies gaps, errors, or inefficiencies in your VAT systems and allows businesses to take corrective action before facing regulatory scrutiny or tax audits from the FTA.
Why VAT Health Checks Are Important
At Noraal, our VAT health check in UAE covers both qualitative and quantitative aspects of compliance. Whether you’re a startup, SME, or large enterprise, conducting regular health checks helps you:
- Detect incorrect VAT reporting
- Prevent costly penalties
- Maximize VAT recovery
- Ensure audit readiness
- Strengthen documentation and reconciliation processes
Qualitative VAT Review
Our qualitative VAT review focuses on the effectiveness of your tax processes, documentation, and compliance with the Executive Regulations and VAT Decree-Law.
Key Areas Covered:
- VAT Registration Status
Ensuring your business is registered accurately based on turnover and business activity. - VAT Returns & Filings
Verifying output tax, input tax claims, voluntary disclosure needs, and deadline adherence. - Invoice & Documentation Compliance
Ensuring invoices follow Article 59 requirements, and assisting with administrative exceptions if needed. - Reconciliation Process Review
Checking consistency across sales, purchases, imports, and exports to avoid discrepancies in VAT returns. - Accounting Records Review
Assessing your books to flag reporting exceptions and suggest corrective adjustments for past, current, or future filings.
Quantitative VAT Review
Our quantitative VAT review helps quantify the financial impact of non-compliance and outlines a clear corrective action plan.
Common VAT Risks Identified:
- Late or incorrect VAT registration or deregistration
- Errors in VAT return submissions
- Improper or missing tax invoices
- Overclaimed or blocked input VAT
- Missed disclosures prior to tax audits
- Incorrect treatment of exempt or zero-rated supplies
- Non-compliant reverse charge mechanism (RCM) entries
Correcting these through voluntary disclosure—before an FTA audit—often results in significantly reduced penalties.
